Preface

About this manual

The
LispWorks Reference Manual
is organized by package. Each chapter contains detailed reference material for all the exported symbols in a given package. Within any chapter, the symbols are organized alphabetically (ignoring non-alphanumeric characters that are common in Lisp symbols, such as *). The chapters themselves are organized alphabetically, as follows:

The CLOS Package, describes the LispWorks extensions to CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System.

The COMMON-LISP Package, describes the LispWorks extensions to symbols in the
COMMON-LISP
package. You should refer to the Common Lisp Hyperspec, supplied in HTML format with LispWorks, for full documentation about standard Common Lisp symbols.
